Hello All,
ever since we saw a cougar in January 2008, I have been so intrigued by this mystic creature. When we saw it, we completed a sighting form on the Ontario Puma Foundation's website, and so I thought I would share here as well.
We were driving along Hwy 7 in Ontario between Havelock and Peterborough, it was s now storm so we were going slow, and my daughter said "LOOK MOMMY, it's a cougar!" I slowed down and pulled slightly off the road and there in a farmers field in the middle of the blizzard was a cougar! I knew right a way that it was not a bob cat, or dog, or house cat - this was the real deal! about 4 ft tall, by about the same long and tail was slightly up and curled slightly. You could tell by the way it moved it was a cougar... It was amazing, I was scared and excited at the same time, but we were in our car and the cougar was about 30 - 40 ft into the field from the road so I knew we were safe. I am over joyed to leanr that the cougar in Ontario is making a come back, these are beautiful animals.
